THE AUDIENCE FOR THE GUIDE
This guide is not just for the landscape
architects, architects, and engineers charged
with the design of larger projects. It is for
everyone who participates in planning, designing,
constructing, repairing, maintaining, and
authorizing facilities on the national forests and
grasslands. It is for field staff and technicians
who initiate and build projects and who maintain
and rehabilitate facilities, modifying them and
the design intent a bit at a time. All affect the
function and image of each facility. The better
each of us understands the environmental,
cultural, and economic context of each facility’s
design, the better we will serve our customers
and reflect a quality agency image.
Everyone in the Forest Service has a stake
in creating and perpetuating a positive built
environment image.
